Ben McGorty (R)

Father, I lift up Representative Ben McGorty. Thank you for his service to our country. Touch his heart and draw him close to you. May he humble himself before you and seek your wisdom, knowing he has none apart from you. May he not serve from hopes of money or popularity, but in humility and honesty, standing on your justice and righteousness. Protect him and his family from the work of the enemy, physically and spirituallly.

I pray in agreement with prayer warriors engaged in spiritual warfare on behalf of Representative Ben McGorty. We lift him up, stand in the gap under the authority Jesus that You give Your disciples in Matthew 28:18-19, and pray in Jesus' name that he be surrounded by spirit-filled Christians who are able to speak Your Word of Truth and Your values into his life. We pray in Jesus' name for the binding (Matthew 16:19) of satan's rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12) and for "the demolish(ing) of arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God," (2 Corinthians 10:5). We pray for the loosing (Matthew 16:19) of open eyes, listening ears and a soft heart that will enable Mr. McGorty to receive revelation of Your truth and values into his spirit. We pray that Ben McGorty is convicted to receive Your gift of salvation (John 3:16) and "take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ," (2 Cor. 10:5). We pray he be blessed with godly counsel and God-fearing advisors (Proverbs 24). In Jesus name, Amen.

Father God, You sacrificed greatly to draw any and every willing person close to You and to surround each one who draws near with Your great love, mercy and grace. Your heart is broken when any chooses a different path than the one You have laid out because any other path does not lead to help, hope or life. So, Lord, we pray that You would break Representative Ben McGorty's heart with the things that break Your heart. (We pray this for ourselves as well) We pray that this would give great prompting for Mr. McGorty to pursue paths of righteousness. We pray then that it would be Your righteousness that guides his thoughts, plans, decisions and actions. In this will he, his family, his office and his constituents be blessed. It is by the authority of Jesus' name we pray this. Amen

Mighty God, please bless Ben. Thank you

Gracious Heavenly Father, may Rep. McGorty know that it is Your hand and Your sovereign purpose that is keeping him and sustaining him in his divine commission. (Ps 38:12-15) Keep him, and those who serve him, safe from the enemy's snares and free from the accuser's traps. (Ps 141:9-10) By Your great hand, Lord, deal with those who oppose righteousness and justice so that all will know it is You alone who is sovereign and true. (Ps 64:6-9) I pray that you would open his heart to hear and respond to the Gospel Message if he does not know you. I pray the prayer of King Solomon in I Kings on our leader. "Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that he may discern between good and evil." Pour out Your Spirit upon him. Shower him with your goodness and put a hedge of protection about him and his family. Protect him from the influence of the evil one and teach him to trust in you. Reveal to him by Your Spirit the marvelous truth of the Gospel. Give him discretion, foresight and understanding in making decisions. Grant him a heart of compassion toward those he leads and serves. Help him, like Jesus to love righteousness and hate lawlessness. Help him to have the courage to do the right thing even when urged to do the wrong thing. In the Name above all names Jesus our Messiah. Amen.
